Why didn’t they just ask ChatGPT what it would cost?

this is not a business that deserves to survive

Why not have tax payers support it and then lay them off?

MBA’s are a bunch of circle jerks that haven’t created anything other than a gig economy, the PayPal mafia and automated assistants on websites like Amazon. Mission statement: How to squeeze pith into cash.

The only one I remember from my (single) introduction to business class is that product quality doesn’t matter so much as long as you capture the Dutch porn market.

Which makes it absolutely hilarious when they get in legal trouble. Its like watching a child try to steal the tip jar from a restaraunt counter only to be scolded by the staff.

Nice try Skynet

Crash and burn it

How are they supposed to put human writers and artists out of work without sufficient capitalization?

Alternatively we burn openai to the ground and salt the earth where it lies smoldering, that company is a scourge upon humanity and creativity.

AI is a huge investment grift.

That use-case’ll come around in the next 100 billion, im sure!

Wouldn’t need to make a profit Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum If I were like biddy biddy rich Idle-lying-lazy-Sam Altman.

I've heard it's hidden inside asteroids of the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

The master program needs more money (and energy)

This sounds like the path to government budgets 😬🫣

You just described every business that seems investments

“AI” was always FOMO for rich people.

has anyone asked chatgpt to solve the underpants gnome equation? or is "shake down VCs and equity for all their spare billions" its actual answer to phase 2

More worthless than Roomba.

Dang, guess they'll have to die.

This is just pathetic. Can GenAI please just die already?

they spent too much money on candles and now their family is starving

🤣 They want all the money, all the energy and all the copyright. Just so bob next door can generate his anime wifu with an actresses body. Yes, they are a very serious business lol XD

me trying to buy fuckin eggs at the supermarket

Can I lend you a couple of oceans to boil, at 15% APR ?

One more round of funding bro, just one more round of funding!

However. Their success pisses Elmo off no end. So, there's also that.

You had me in the first half. I was worried about you for a second. 😆

Money is one thing, let's not forget about the prolific power consumption. Not to mention the land for the datacenters and water that is being used in the process. AI has been out for years but the adoption has been slow. Every server/compute company is losing money on AI.

So I guess o3 isn’t working out I think they probably trained some sidecar model to help with the arc test

send me 26 trillion dollars and somehow this chatbot will become AGI god and solve all our problems. please trust me

Yep, it's big oil all over again

This. . . This makes me indescribably angry a) pre-supposition of failure, and b) catastrophic short-sightedness coupled with absolute lack of knowledge what climate failure will entail.

There it is; the answer to the question "could you *be* more dumb?"

At least the Joker was open about burning his money that he stole from gangsters and was enjoying it.

This is going to involve some sums from me. How quickly could one man burn, say, $100 bills, in a bonfire, if he had nothing else to do? Could he actually burn $8.7bn in a year?

Apparently, its consumption qualifies AI as a black hole.

For just pennies a day, you too can support a starving AI cluster

then the way to shut them down is clear lol

Capitalism bot, go! 🤣

The AI hype train is slowly heading for the buffers, promoted by the usual snake oil hucksters, its tulip mania all over again

It's environmentally irresponsible. Shut it down.

I love that they still haven't changed their name to ClosedAI or some shit. When was the last time they released something open source??

I too need way more money than anyone ever got before. I need it for products and services. ALL the products and services that support this podcast, even the Washington State Patrol. I'll buy it whole. I'll buy it all. With dick pills.

Nobel prize for his work in AI said: just leaving it to the profit motive of large companies is not going to be sufficient to make sure they develop it safely. The only thing that can force those big companies to do more research on safety is government regulation www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It's worth all the money if the nerds can finally get rid of the theater kids and rule over their entire section of cafeteria.

Just one more round of funding bro, I swear. Just one more round and I'm gucci

🥺 👉 👈

We thought we would need a billion dollars but actually we need 500 trillion dollars. Go Fund Me in bio.

"I don't understand... In all the sci fi movies, the big evil AI robot company always rules the world...? I trust you guys will continue investing until this incongruity is resolved."

I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit Han S. Near What Used To Be Alderaan

"We're *totally* not a scam, just trust me, bro. :0 What's that? thieves? Nah, we're just taking everything we need without paying for it and using it to feed the eco-bleeder 5000 so some cockmonkey can get new lies from us to present as facts, because they don't think a computer can lie."

It's almost exactly like the Bitcoin and NFT models.

OpenAI's moat is raising huge amounts of capital

Thanks for the alternative perspective. Examples of how you use it? Part of my business is producing disclosure for US SEC filings. AI helps us with first drafts. Improves productivity somewhat and we’d be willing to pay modest amounts for that But it’s not like a quantum shift for us.

Alternative, opioids, so they talk less. NodoffGPT (tm)

Sam Altman is the least serious person & I’m living for his comeuppance

Learned a lot from your newsletters on Altman and AI. Excellent work.

“I mean, we can only create so many trump cult images a day! We have to figure out other ways to generate revenue!”

Here's the deal: I'll help a business that is not openly stealing from me and other creators, and calling that an essential aspect of its business capital, while it also destroys the planet. Does that sound like your business? Thought not.

Just one more venture capital hit man i swear i just need to get through to the morning and i’m gonna go get profitable please bro just one more infusion of cash everyone is gonna love it PLEASE BRO

Yeah Open AI can go to hell Hope they collapse

If this kind of behavior isn't remotely acceptable from your stoner roommate, how in the sweet buttery fuck do we allow them to play with potentially economy-ruining amounts of real money? I don't know anything about tech or finance and even *I* know this is fucknutz crazy!

Honestly no clue. To make it cost effective, maybe they could declare the first method didn’t work, rapidly devalue the existing company to pocket lint, then buy it for a song with a new company? You have a point though - how the heck can they do it (without just revealing the truth)?

I think it will be a company like this going bust that will deflate the AI bubble,

@dwuff.com I have a hunch you'll appreciate this message.

they need that capital way more than regular people need it to buy homes or food, otherwise their mission of facilitating IP theft on a scale never before imagined will die on the vine

They just be like what If money didn’t matter and you gave us it to slop out big ass Garfield or whatever

They've reinvented the $3000 for candles meme. Impressive.

Sam emailing this meme to every venture capitalist in the world

microsoft

Every Govt around the World: ‘we hear you. Have a few billion for starters. Anything else? Changes in the law you might like?’

They should try skipping breakfast and making coffee at home.

“listen, we’ve figured out it’s REALLY hard to make money doing this. now our business plan is ‘you give us a bunch of money and we outlast the other guys’ — hey where are you going?”

true true!

The company's new business model is the manufacturing and distribution of stock certificates.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh………NOPE!

Didn’t they already imagine seven trillion? How much is “more” exactly?

*laughs histerically.*

Oh also I'm doing all of this for the good of humanity. Me getting incredibly rich is just a side effect

Maybe it’s so smart, it’ll eat all the capital in existence, and we all end with nothing kind of restarting the system. A hard reset if you will.

And your help will allow me to build more power-sucking server farms but I will learn to run the bitcoin farms too so you can relax and watch me…

The guys always hitting me up for dollars in the plasma donation center parking lot should try some of these lines, they seem to really hit.

Might wanna look into it a little bit more maybe

Anyone with the slightest knowledge in psychology, biology, and philosophy will tell you the same lol, the burden of proof isn't on us, it's on the computer programmers making extraordinary claims without any backing

They're both true. Yes, language is definitely built on top of other systems, most obviously memory with which we build our vocabulary. But also: once created, our LLM runs amok just like chatGPT. The only difference is that we have overlayed filters, so we don't believe everything we think.

Thing is, a LLM *can* actually correctly answer a question, whereas cruise control can't ever actually take you to a destination. The problem is, an LLM can't understand that it answered the question incorrectly. It's the "make up an answer" aspect of intelligence, minus the objective analysis.

"OpenAI expects about $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue this year, CNBC confirmed in September. Those numbers are increasing rapidly." Those numbers? Like both? Hmmm

Those computers that do the stealing, those ain't cheap.

they need money to achieve AGI as defined

"Yah, it's the most revolutionary AI ever. We trained it on nothing but Aloe Blacc's I Need A Dollar."
